W-A G: Perhaps auto-channel-selection is better on the router than on the BV? To test the theory, you would run your "good" scenario (BV & WiSA start first), and then after connecting to your router, use either your computer's diagnostics or maybe the router's web interface to see what channel it has *actually* selected for least interference. Then change the router's settings to *force* that channel instead of using "auto select". Having done that, try the "bad" order powering up and see if you win...

P.S. @elephant, it probably doesn't use *more* bandwidth starting up, but it might broadcast instead of only listening on multiple channels, which will cause a hiccup. Or maybe if it does the protocol wrong and uses a channel without courtesy, which would force the router to migrate many or all of its clients to a new alternate channel, causing multiple hiccups -- which would sooner or later resolve. (Channel switches are probably most noticeable when the streaming bandwidth is close to the available channel bandwidth, and small buffers are in use or low latency is required. But measuring or testing that is not so easy.)

Hi Chris

This is (unfortunately) not a solution - this is just a confirmation, as I see the same problem with my BV Eclipse, 4 BL 17 and the Core (connected via WiFI).

Just using the BV with TV as source, no problem. Starting the BV with Core as Multiroom source the speakers jumps from green to red and back. It must be the Eclipse, which is the root cause here. Previsouly I had an Avant (both 2015 and NG version) instead of the Eclipse - and I did not see this problem (but a lot of other problems). Also, I tried to use cable insteaf of WISA, and the problem did not show up.

We can only wait (some 6 months or more) in order to get this fixed from B&O! It must be their WISA software which is causing this.

FYI only. I have tried with with 4 different routers/wifi units - same problem shows up on all.

Hi Chris,

This is an old post but did you resolve your issue?

It was mentioned that the Eclipse was connected via ethernet cabel.

How was the Essence and BS1 connected? Wifi or cabel? If Wifi using N or AC, 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz? 

How does did your network setup look like? Any switches, access points besides router?

Best regards K
